Calling it a Career – Dale Epp
After 30 years at the head of Protoform, Dale Epp is ‘calling it a career’. The Canadian’s impact on the RC industry, since starting designing body shells at the beginning of the 1990’s, cant be understated. If you have ever raced in any onroad class in the past three decades, you have at some stage driven a body shell penned by Dale and in more recent years even if it’s not made by Protoform you will have driven something heavily ‘inspired’ by his work. With 25 World titles and countless other International and National victories, his designs not only looked great but performed exceptionally and in many cases were ahead of their time. The Protoform brand under Pro-Line will of course carry on, aided in no small part by son Eric, ensuring that each product still carries some of that Epp magic. Dale reached out to us recently to ask to publish a few words to say farewell and thank you to everyone he encountered during his time at Protoform and of course we said yes.
